What i use for ripping is mymp3pro from steinberg (pinnacle systems)it can rip to flac if you want. As you insert the cd you can get it to check up all the id3 tags for the cd on an internet database, though sometimes there are typo's or errors best to check. Anyway all you do is set up the directory structure eg Save to D: and set the file preference eg. Artist\Album\Track Title then rip the cd and it will save the files in this format. For albums with various artists on i use Album\Track Title so all the album is in one folder. You can type in id3 tags if the album isnt on the internet all editing facilities are on the program. It even makes a playlist file if you want it. There are probably many other ripping programs that do this but this is mine. Anyway hope this helps you.
